"Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God."The conciliar entity is not from God but is from His adversary.
According to SSPX Father Dominique Bourmaud,Stinky cheese and a "good" bottle of wine. Those are two things I hate.
there's also the "dangerous, schismatic, ghetto mentality" Resistance Church.

But there so low class...
they can't even offer a French priest some smelly cheese or a good bottle of wine!

It's good to get the names of the opposing forces straight, to minimize the battlefield smoke & confusion:
Conciliar Church, Official Church, newChurch
Versus
Traditional Roman Catholic Church, Latin rite remnant Church or Church eclipsed.
The latter name given by Our Lady of LaSalette

Absolutely!
Great post Franciscan Solitary!
Who will give us the Sodom & Gomorrah scale chastisements and lead the paralyzed Catholic remnant ?
None other, than God the Holy Ghost and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Absolutely!Hmm...."Marian Militia".....I like that....
In more religious terms what will save the Catholic Remnant is certainly the Franciscan theology and practices recommended for us by St. Grignon de Montfort, Padre Pio and St. Maximilian Kolbe: The Holy Ghost as the Uncreated Immaculate Conception and the Blessed Virgin Mother of God as the created Immaculate Conception. All of which, by the way, in more temporal terms equates with Catholic Nationalist racial science and the singular value of racial purity for the entire human race, in that respect for every race and nation equally. It is timely for Catholics to appreciate that the mainstream Catholic heritage has always been noble and aristocratic in nature. Everything common has been allowed (very unlike with the historic Pagans) and even generously pampered, but has nevertheless also always been secondary to the predominant noble and warrior core of our Roman or Pan-European heritage.
The Marian Apparitions have a militant Catholic Nationalist side to them. That is why the Left has always opposed them so fanatically. The Virgin of Guadalupe has much to do with the Spanish Reconquista and Pan-American Hispanidad. Our Lady of Lourdes has much to do with the unique value of French civilisation, and Norman English and British-American Anglo-French civilisation too. Our Lady of Fatima has everything to do with the many incomparable heroic tragedies of Catholicism last century. In Catholic prophecy our own 21st Century is the time of the Knighthood of the Holy Ghost and, needless to say, the Marian Militia that is the contemporary Catholic Remnant of the End Time.
Only Our Lord Himself can save us and He only comes to us in and through the Blessed Virgin. Which on the temporal level also means that He also comes to us in and through Catholic Nationalism and the Roman Catholic racial wisdom and noble courage thereof. As relatively fallen human beings Our Lord comes to us through noble Roman Pan-European racial good breeding and through the good manners and racial purity of Our Lady the Divine Mother of God. No less.
De Maria numquam satis!
Some commentary:from Sean's blog post: "Finally, the rumor that the next superior general may not be a bishop is interesting. It means that the next leader of the SSPX will not possess within himself the principal of continuity (i.e., the ability to consecrate bishops). The matter is important, because if this Rome-approved superior general should ever have a belated lapse in favor of Tradition, and try to break free from the Roman chains, he will not be able to threaten conciliar Rome with consecrating his own successors, but will instead have to convince the other future Roman-picked bishops of the SSPX to go along with him, which would be very unlikely to succeed."

There is the ring of truth about everything he writes here, though I do not pretend that I understand all the difficult phraseology. Simply, that Mary is the way ahead for true Catholic reconquest.

To Jesus through Mary. He has been pleased to appoint the Most Blessed Virgin, His Mother to be our Mother also, and our Mediatrix with Thee, i.e. to receive all of God's graces through Her. This is basically what Fr. Fuentes conveyed to us after his interview with Sr. Lucy in 1957:
Only Our Lord Himself can save us and He only comes to us in and through the Blessed Virgin.Well, Shazaam!
The great Catholic writer Ernst Junger ...I think it should be clarified that Junger was a writer who became Catholic - at the ripe old age of 101, just one year before he died.
I think it should be clarified that Junger was a writer who became Catholic - at the ripe old age of 101, just one year before he died.
"On the other hand, over the years Jünger has come to distance himself from the book I had introduced to the Italian public, and has abandoned his original views. While the most recent writing of Jünger has significantly contributed towards his fame as a writer and man of letters, on a spiritual level it reflects a lapse: both for its merely literary and aesthetic nature, and because it betrays the influence of ideas of a different, and often antithetical sort from the ones that inform The Worker and other early books of Jünger. It is as if the spiritual drive that Jünger had derived from his life in the trenches of the First World War, and applied on an intellectual level, had gradually run out. Besides, not only did Jünger play no significant role during the Second World War, but it also appears that, when in service in occupied France, he got in touch with those members of the Wehrmacht who in 1944 attempted to murder Hitler. Jünger, therefore, should be numbered among those individuals who first subscribed to 'Conservative Revolutionary' ideas but were later, in a way, traumatized by the National Socialist experience, to the point of being led to embrace the kind of sluggishly liberal and humanistic ideas which conformed to the dominant attempt 'to democratically reform' their country; individuals who have proven incapable of distinguishing the positive side of past ideas from the negative, and of remaining true to the former. Alas, this incapability to discern is, in a way, typical of contemporary Germany (the land of the 'economic miracle')."[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Jünger’s writings returned to the world of the civilian and the individual, to the preservation of freedom against totalitarianism. At least in this respect, the later Jünger seems to certainly help fulfill Sunic’s search for nonconformist weapons of dissent against today’s multicultural tyranny. The question I have is to what extent, if any, is Jünger’s later thinking representative of or supportive of traditionalism, let alone White nationalism. While he differentiates his Anarch figure from anarchism, it still seems to share certain basic characteristics of anarchistic thought which utterly oppose it to traditionalism or White nationalism. Indeed, Simon Friedrich, an expert on Jünger, characterized Jünger’s position as follows. “ALL external identifications, not excluding racial ones, are ultimately to be separated from”, leading a reader to ask: “So if we have to get rid of our identifications, what are we left with?” Jünger had become a radical individualist.[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Thanks for pointing him out Marlelar.
I didn't know of Junger, but what an independent, inquisitive character he was?
In 1930 he wrote a book explaining how the Jєωs were a threat to Germany.
He was also considered a sympathizer of Col. Clause Von Stauffenberg, the daring Catholic, who tried to blow-up Hitler.
I'd like to know more about details his Catholic conversion? What a roundabout, "pilgrimage of grace" he had ?

Ernst Jünger(http://en.metapedia.org/m/images/thumb/c/c5/Ernst_J%C3%BCnger.png/180px-Ernst_J%C3%BCnger.png) (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/File:Ernst_J%C3%BCnger.png)Ernst Junger
Ernst Jünger (29 March 1895 – 17 February 1998 was a German (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Germans) writer (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Writer&action=edit&redlink=1). In addition to his novels (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Novel&action=edit&redlink=1) and diaries (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Diary&action=edit&redlink=1), he is well known for Storm of Steel (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Storm_of_Steel&action=edit&redlink=1), an account of his experience during World War I (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/World_War_I).
Biography
Jünger was born in Heidelberg (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Heidelberg&action=edit&redlink=1) to a middle class family, and grew up in Hannover (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Hannover) as the son of a chemical engineer who later became a pharmacist. He attended school from 1901 to 1913, and was a member of the Wandervogel (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Wandervogel&action=edit&redlink=1) movement. In 1913, he ran away from home to join the French Foreign Legion (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/French_Foreign_Legion) in which he served very briefly in North Africa (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/North_Africa). During World War I (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/World_War_I) he served with distinction in the Imperial German Army (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/German_Army) on the Western Front (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Western_Front_(WWI)). In the first week of January 1917 he was awarded the Iron Cross First Class (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross) and in September 1918 was awarded Prussia (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Prussia)'s highest military decoration of that time, the Pour le Mérite (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Pour_le_M%C3%A9rite) (informally known as the "Blue Max"). This he received as a Lieutenant at the age of 23.
His war experiences are first described in Storm of Steel (German title: In Stahlgewittern) which was published in 1920 (self-published). This book by which Jünger became suddenly famous has been seen as glorifying war. Jünger served as a lieutenant (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Lieutenant&action=edit&redlink=1) in the army of the Weimar Republic (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic) until his demobilisation (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Demobilisation&action=edit&redlink=1) in 1923. He studied marine biology (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Marine_biology&action=edit&redlink=1), zoology (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Zoology&action=edit&redlink=1), botany (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Botany&action=edit&redlink=1), and philosophy (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Philosophy), and became a well-known entomologist (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Entomologist&action=edit&redlink=1). He married Gretha von Jeinsen (1906–1960) in 1925; they had two children, Ernst (1926–1944) and Alexander (1934–1993).
In the 1920s Jünger published articles in several right-wing (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Right-wing) nationalist (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Nationalism) journals, and further novels. As in Storm of Steel, in the book Feuer und Blut (1925, "Fire and Blood"), Jünger glorified war as an internal event. According to Jünger, war elevates the soldier's life, isolated from normal humanity, into a mystical experience. The extremities of modern military techniques tested the capacity of the human senses. He criticized the fragile and unstable democracy (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Democracy) of the Weimar Republic (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic), stating that he "hated democracy like the plague."
Although never a member of the National Socialist (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_German_Workers_Party) movement around Adolf Hitler (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler), Jünger never publicly criticized the regime before the war. Jünger however refused a chair offered to him in the Reichstag following the nαzι Party's ascension to power in 1933, and he refused the invitation to head the German Academy of Literature (Die deutsche Akademie der Dichtung). Even though he never endorsed the nαzι Party, and indeed kept them at a careful distance, Jünger's Storm of Steel sold well into the six-figure range by the end of the 1930s. In the essay On Pain (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=On_Pain&action=edit&redlink=1), written and published in 1934, Jünger rejects the liberal values of liberty, security, ease, and comfort, and seeks instead the measure of man in the capacity to withstand pain and sacrifice.
In 1927 he moved to Berlin (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Berlin). In 1929 his work The Adventurous Heart (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=The_Adventurous_Heart&action=edit&redlink=1) (German title: Das abenteuerliche Herz) was published. In Über Nationalismus und Judenfrage (1930, "On Nationalism and the Jєωιѕн Question"), Jünger describes Jєωs (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Jєω) as a threat for the unity of Germans (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Germans). In 1932 he published The Worker (German title: Der Arbeiter), which called for the creation of a totally mobilized society run by warrior-worker-scholars.
Jünger left Berlin (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Berlin) in 1933, his house was searched by the Gestapo (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Gestapo) secret police, and from 1938 he was banned by the nαzιs from writing. On the Marble Cliffs (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=On_the_Marble_Cliffs&action=edit&redlink=1) (1939, German title: Auf den Marmorklippen) uses metaphor (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Metaphor&action=edit&redlink=1) to describe Jünger's negative perceptions of the situation in Hitler's Germany. He served in World War II (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/World_War_II) as an army captain (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Captain_(OF-2)&action=edit&redlink=1). Assigned to an administrative position in Paris, he socialized with prominent artists of the day such as Picasso (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Picasso&action=edit&redlink=1) and Jean Cocteau (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Jean_Cocteau&action=edit&redlink=1). His early time in France is described in his diary Gärten und Straßen (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=G%C3%A4rten_und_Stra%C3%9Fen&action=edit&redlink=1) (1942, Gardens and Streets).
Jünger appears on the fringes of the Stauffenberg bomb plot (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/July_20_Plot). He was clearly an inspiration to anti-nαzι conservatives in the German Army[citation needed (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Metapedia:Citation_needed)], and while in Paris he was close to the old, mostly Prussian (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Prussia) officers who carried out the assassination attempt against Hitler. He was only peripherally involved in the events however, and in the aftermath suffered only dismissal from the army in the summer of 1944, rather than execution.
His elder son Ernst Jr., then a Kriegsmarine (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Kriegsmarine) cadet (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Cadet&action=edit&redlink=1), was imprisoned that year for engaging in "subversive discussions" in his Wilhelmshaven (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Wilhelmshaven&action=edit&redlink=1) Naval Academy. Transferred to Penal Unit (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Strafbattalion&action=edit&redlink=1) 999 (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=999th_Light_Afrika_Division_(Germany)&action=edit&redlink=1), he was killed near Carrara (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Carrara&action=edit&redlink=1) in occupied Italy (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Italian_Social_Republic) on 29 November.(http://en.metapedia.org/m/images/thumb/f/ff/Junger-2.jpg/180px-Junger-2.jpg) (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/File:Junger-2.jpg)[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]Ernst Junger 2
After the war, Jünger was initially under some suspicion for his nationalist past, and he was banned from publishing in Germany for four years by the British occupying forces because he refused to submit to the denαzιfication procedures. His work The Peace (German title: Der Friede), written in 1943 and published abroad in 1947, marked the end of his involvement in politics. [/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]Rehabilitated by the 1950s, he went on to be regarded as a towering figure of German literature. German publisher Klett put out a ten-volume Collected Works (Sämtliche Werke) in 1965. The same publishers issued a second edition in 1983, turning Jünger into one of four German authors who lived to see two editions of his Collected Works published; the other three are Goethe, Klopstock, and Wieland. He remained highly controversial, though, in the eyes of the German Marxist Left, both for his past, and his ongoing role as conservative philosopher and icon. Jünger was immensely popular in France, where at one time 48 of his translated books were in print. In 1984, he spoke at the Verdun memorial, alongside with his admirers, French president François Mitterrand (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Mitterrand) and German chancellor Helmut Kohl (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Kohl).[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
His diaries from 1939 to 1949 were published under the title Strahlungen (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Strahlungen_(Ernst_J%C3%BCnger)&action=edit&redlink=1) (1948, Reflections). In the 1950s and 1960s Jünger travelled extensively. His first wife, Gretha, died in 1960, and in 1962 he married Liselotte Lohrer. He continued writing prodigiously for his entire life, publishing more than 50 books.[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Jünger was among the forerunners of magical realism (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Magical_realism&action=edit&redlink=1). His vision in The Glass Bees (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=The_Glass_Bees&action=edit&redlink=1) (1957, German title: Gläserne Bienen), of a future in which an overmechanized world threatens individualism, could be seen as science fiction (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Science_fiction&action=edit&redlink=1). A sensitive poet with training in botany and zoology, as well as a soldier, his works in general are infused with tremendous details of the natural world. His critics claim there is an excess of emotional control and precision in his writing. In 1981 he was awarded the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Prix_mondial_Cino_Del_Duca&action=edit&redlink=1).
Throughout his whole life he had experimented with drugs (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Psychoactive_drug&action=edit&redlink=1) such as ether (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Diethyl_ether&action=edit&redlink=1), cocaine (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Cocaine&action=edit&redlink=1), and hashish (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Hashish&action=edit&redlink=1); and later in life he used mescaline (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Mescaline&action=edit&redlink=1) and LSD (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=LSD&action=edit&redlink=1). These experiments were recorded comprehensively in Annäherungen (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Ann%C3%A4herungen&action=edit&redlink=1) (1970, Approaches). [/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]The novel Besuch auf Godenholm (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Besuch_auf_Godenholm&action=edit&redlink=1) (1952, Visit to Godenholm) is clearly influenced by his early experiments with mescaline (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Mescaline&action=edit&redlink=1) and LSD (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=LSD&action=edit&redlink=1). He met several times with LSD inventor Albert Hofmann (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Albert_Hofmann&action=edit&redlink=1) and they took LSD together. Hofmann's memoir LSD, My Problem Child (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=LSD,_My_Problem_Child&action=edit&redlink=1) describes some of these meetings.[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
One of his most important literary contributions was the metahistoric figure of the Anarch (sovereign individual) (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Anarch_(sovereign_individual)&action=edit&redlink=1), which evolved from his earlier conception of the Waldgaenger, or Forest Fleer. The anarch is Jünger's answer to the question of survival of individual freedom in a totalitarian world. It is developed primarily through the character of Martin Venator in his novel Eumeswil (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Eumeswil&action=edit&redlink=1).
Jünger's 100th birthday on 29 March 1995, was met with praise from many quarters, including the socialist (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Socialist_Party_(France)&action=edit&redlink=1) French president (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=French_president&action=edit&redlink=1) François Mitterrand (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Mitterrand).[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Jünger was a friend of Martin Heidegger (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Martin_Heidegger). Jünger was admired by Julius Evola (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Julius_Evola) who published a book called L'Operaio nel pensiero di Ernst Juenger (1960), in which he summarized The Worker.[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
A year before his death Jünger converted to Catholicism (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church) and began to receive the Sacraments (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Sacrament&action=edit&redlink=1).
Ernst Jünger died on 17 February 1998 in Riedlingen (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Riedlingen&action=edit&redlink=1), Upper Swabia (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Upper_Swabia&action=edit&redlink=1), the last living bearer of the military version of the order of the Pour le Mérite (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Pour_le_M%C3%A9rite).[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
His brother Friedrich Georg Jünger (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Georg_J%C3%BCnger) (1898–1977) was a poet and essayist. His younger son Alexander, a physician, committed ѕυιcιdє in 1993.[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Despite the controversy surrounding his life, Jünger said he never regretted anything he wrote, nor would he ever take it back.
Yet he joined Chancellor Helmut Kohl (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Kohl) and President François Mitterrand (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Mitterrand) of France at a 1984 Franco-German ceremony at Verdun (http://en.metapedia.org/m/index.php?title=Verdun&action=edit&redlink=1), France, where he called the ideology of war in Germany before and after World War I "a calamitous mistake".[/font][/size]
[size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
Right-Wing Criticism of Ernst Junger
Julius Evola (http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Julius_Evola) pointed out in his autobiography The Path of Cinnabar (Excerpt online: "Junger: From 'Conservative Revolutionary' to Sluggishly Liberal & Humanistic" (http://www.juliusevola.net/excerpts/Junger_-_from_Conservative_Revolutionary_to_Sluggishly_Liberal_%26_Humanistic.html)) the negative transformation in philosophical thought which Ernst Junger had undergone after World War II:[/font][/size][size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
More recently, Will Fredericks, in his article "The Conservative Revolution Then and Now: Ernst Junger" (link (http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/02/the-conservative-revolution-then-and-now-ernst-junger/)) has pointed out the following:[/font][/size][size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
